About
My Background
I was born in Jackson, Tennessee and am licensed to practice before all courts in Tennessee, as well as several federal courts, including the United States District Court for the Western and Middle Districts of Tennessee and the Eastern District of Arkansas.
I attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville where I graduated magna cum laude in 2001 with a B.S. in Business Administration, with a focus on Finance. While at the University of Tennessee, I also received a minor in Spanish and spent time studying at the Universidad de Granada in Granada, Spain.
Following law school, I earned my law degree from the University of Richmond, cum laude, in May 2004. While at law school, I was a member of the Moot Court Board, earning a spot on the school’s National Moot Court Team. As a team member, I helped my school earn the first-ever trip to the National Finals, winning the New York City Regional in 2004. I was also the Editor-in-Chief of the Richmond Journal of Law & Technology, leading a staff of 42 second and third year law students to publish five scholarly issues.

I have been published in several law reviews and publications, including the Cleveland State Law Review, the North Dakota Law Review, and the UCLA Journal of Law & Technology. I am scheduled to also be indexed at the Unversity of Arkansas within the coming year, and recently prepared a research paper for the American Association for Justice on LASIK litigation. I am currently working on a paper on LASIK Litigation which I hope to have ready for publication by the end of 2008.
My Practice
I practice in general trial work, and a significant portion of my case load involves personal injury claims, including LASIK malpractice, medical malpractice, cochlear implant litigation, medical device litigation, pharmaceutical litigation, legal malpractice, civil rights, school sexual abuse, auto accidents and class action.
I work in Memphis, Tennessee, but have handled cases in several states. I also have a network of skilled attorneys across the United States, and can either work with other attorneys to help you with your situation or otherwise refer you to the right attorney to help you.
I am a member of the American Association for Justice, where I serve as a member of the Board of Governors in the New Lawyers Division. I also am the co-chairperson of the New Lawyer Division’s committee on Website, Document Library and AAJ Exchange. In 2007-2008, I was honored to receive an American Association for Justice New Lawyer’s Division Award of Excellence. I am also a member of the Tennessee Association for Justice, and the Memphis-Shelby County Bar Association.
